Hi everybody.

I don't know if it has been posted yet, but there are so much threads to find it out. <.<

Well,
I just installed W:A on Windows 7, and the problem is the game is hardly (totally ?) lagging (in game though, even offline).

So can someone please help me ?  

Thanks,

well it lags me too, but not that much and often... Weird, 12-year-old game (or don't remember, cerrect me, but I guess it was 1998) and it lags on new computers
That's good that at home I still use win XP

EDIT: and it still lags as hell while skunk! ;o

I installed on Win7 and no issues. Have you got the latest patches?

[Wiz]

In fact the only issue I had was constantly inverted colours due to the changing wallpapers. Fixed by ticking just 1 wallpaper so it doesn't change.

Yeah last patch.

The thing is it's hardly lagging, not like if it was 1 little lag every 10sec.

I don't know Windows 7 at all, so I have no idea on how to correct it...

Is it a raw windows now or you have some programs running on background? Some programs like Fraps can cause insanely screen lags.

I also had lags on Windows Vista but they somehow sorted out themselves fortunately without me doing anything... but that won't help you much i guess. You can try to run w:a on higher priority by opening the task manager when you started w:a, right click on wa.exe and setting priority to higher than normal or high. I wouldn't set it to realtime as it may slow down your computer then i think.

I'm afraid there is nothing at all. <.<
Or at least, only the ones needed for my computer to work well.

Anyway, I have 4Go memory.
Can't be the problem. :/

Hahahah.

Abnaxus, you tried my tip? I remember i downloaded some script also that kills explorer.exe process when starting w:a. As i said i can't tell though why at some point the lags were gone... it seemed like Vista somehow recognized that w:a was actually a process that requires some processing power, so maybe setting the priority might work for you.

Turn off the background.

Seems like it worked Chakkman, thanks very much !

[chakkman]
